Greens pledge to transform Scotland at manifesto launch
"Mackay stated that the party would stretch the powers of devolution 'to their limits' to deliver a 'fairer and better future', emphasizing their past achievements with limited MSPs."
"Greer expressed that the manifesto could 'genuinely transform' Scotland, ensuring that it meets the needs of people and the planet rather than serving the interests of a wealthy few."
"The Greens proposed expanding free bus travel to everyone in Scotland, with immediate fare caps and the introduction of an integrated ticket for all transport networks."
The Scottish Greens unveiled their Holyrood election manifesto, promising free bus travel and dental treatment for all, expanded childcare, and 40,000 green energy jobs. They plan to tax wealthy individuals and polluting industries to fund public services. Co-leaders emphasized the need for more Green MSPs to achieve a pro-independence majority and a second referendum. Proposed changes include capping bus fares, local control of the bus network, and an integrated transport ticket system. The manifesto aims to prioritize the needs of people and the planet over the wealthy few.
